Launch Event

EU think tank Platform Paris 2015 (TT2015)

October 15, CEPS, Place du Congres 1, Bruxelles

Agenda

This event launches the TT2015 Platform which brings together five of the leading EU thinks tanks (CEPS, E3G, IDDRI, IES-VUB and SWP), active in the area of climate change policy, in their desire to catalyse and contribute to the debate in the EU on its strategy and positioning in the 2015 negotiations.

The platform will act as an information hub and magnifying glass for those initiatives that the members of the Platform wish to explore. A limited number of strategic issues will be selected and examined through events and original intellectual contributions, either from members individually, or as a group.

The discussions aim to provide clarity and challenge Europe’s role and positioning in relation to the 2015 agreement, providing a robust discussion, which focuses on both strategy and policy.
